Location information is off

I have two people in HA. I'll focus on me for the moment.
I have the iOS companion app installed (but have also registered my laptop).

When I select the whole in month of September, checking "History" or "Logbook" it seems like I've been home only the past 2 days.
Which clearly is wrong.

Is the data maybe expired early for some reason?
Any suggestion on how to track this down?

So before these 2 days you see you as “away” or just no data at all?

To me it looks like "no data" https://i.ibb.co/93PrjkZ/Screenshot-2024-09-16-at-15-20-00.png

Weird, in this case it doesnt look like App related, if the app was not updating you would see long periods of time in just 1 state, but your's look like data of not kept, check this out otherwise open an issue for Core
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/recorder/#purge_keep_days

I have white listed what to keep like this

recorder:
  purge_keep_days: 31
  commit_interval: 30
  include:
    entity_globs:
      - sensor.ble_*
      - sensor.shelly3em_channel_a_*

But why would it purge after 2 days?

Do I need to add the person entities here?

[ebon granite]

Include: Configure which integrations should be included in recordings. If set, all other entities will not be recorded. I'd say so

[thorn nova]

Hm. But why are 2 days keep anyway?

[ebon granite]

To be honest I dont have much experience tweaking this, please check with core developers

[thorn nova]

Any suggestions where to ask best?

Btw: I just checked the statistics. It lists what gets recorded and what not. But the "person" entities are not even listed there. Only sensor data.

Perhaps #analytics-archived can be helpful, yesterday they revamped our discord, I’m still learning the new channels names

[thorn nova]

Hm. #analytics-archived seems to be read-only (for me)

[ebon granite]

Check #find-support then, sorry
